"I'm running Vaultwarden because while on the one hand I'd like to just pay a company to make my password problem go away, I don't know who I can actually trust to not try to take advantage of the fact they have all the keys to all my kingdoms at some point."
"I recently migrated from 1Password using Dropbox for sync, to KeePassXC (Windows, Linux & Mac) and Strongbox (iPhone & iPad) still using Dropbox. Migration was a simple matter of exporting a CSV and then just correctly selecting the column order for KeePass import."
"I switched to Keepass initially, synchronised with NextCloud but it wasn't intuitive enough for everyone. We moved everyone to Bitwarden a few years ago using bitwarden_rs and have never looked back."
"Besides vaultwarden, I have been testing both AliasVault and peerpass, there’s also passbolt for self hosting. That being said, keep a copy of your vault in keepassXC, and better, don’t put your eggs in one basket so 2FA in keepassXC and passwords in one of the above."
